What kind of religions would you like to see in-game?
Just wondering about which sort of religions people would choose and why they would choose that sort of religion.

Very traditional take on Dwarven gods, but hey, call me a traditionalist then.
I've always played my dwarven character in a rather devout way.
If the gods are not traditional like that... then I guess I'll proceed as I see fit - but it would be nice to see a bit of lore on this sort of thing in the coming days!
I'm guessing an Underrealm type of religion would breed some antagonistic dynamic events that could seek to harm our way of life in the game. That could work. It all adds to the lore and immersion so the more the merrier.
Like it could be one for each race then 2 for Tulnar somehow but I can't work out how they would have a racial God since they seem to be a result of millennia of mutation in the "ashes" world underground.
Each race has a different belief/mannerism so that can easily be due to their god xD maybe one of or two of the races believe in multiple Gods? Maybe Vek have 3 Gods and the rest have 1 and Tulnar none - but adopt the others Gods?
i need more lore aha
I believe this is the intention.
I'd probably prefer the gods not to be humanoid in appearance. So that we don't have a god that looks like a Human or a god that looks like an Elf.
Dragons, chimeras, a Great Tree for Nature.
That way, all of the races can have equal attachments to each god rather than Humans having a special attachment to a god the Human looking god or Dwarves having a special attachment to Dwarf looking god.
If the devs do go that route, I hope we get a god of Beauty that looks like a Tulnar.
If if we do have a humanoid god of Travel, it should definitely be a male wearing sandals. Good call, PJ!
Maybe more Good and neutrals though, there is enough negativity in the world already.
Hope to see the following theme: Love/Joy, Nature, Water/Sea, Light, Night/Moon, Knowledge, Fire, Ice, War/Anger, Dark/Death
I want a Pantheon where all gods act as a unity of the forces, Both guiding the people/players while staying completely impartial.
Where as most gods get involved and simply existing becomes an issue when you have proc chance to hope on, i like the passive aid of a wise semi-benevolent entity.
TL:DR (really?) then... I WANT THE GODS TO STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS.
Also cry for me if I get a booboo
My expectation, though is that they will all be neutral.
Ashes doesn't have fixed good and evil. That will be based on individual people.
Corruption will be a factor, so we'll have to see how corruption will affect each portfolio.
1. There should be a goddess, not a god. I'm tired that god is considered a man almost everywhere in the word, so I'd like to have it different in game.
2. The religion should be about luck. Believing in luck, good favour etc.
I very much liked Tymora in Neverwinter -> Lady Luck. And every time I open chests I like to say things like "Goddess Random, please give me good loot" etc. xD I'd like Goddess Random to be actuall Goddess
I always thought that they called it lady luck because of the sterotype that females are fickle minded and/or not something that can easily be understood. It would be nice to mix things up now and then, a female goddess of war, male god of fertility (haha).
Just give us fantastic story lines and reason to believe /feel it
I'm an avid D&D player and glad that so many bring it up. I'm more of a Majere follower but most of my characters have had... "affairs" with Tymora.
I like gods like Hiddukel in concept. They are literally embodied as a broken/fracture dragon/lizard scale.
So it's kinda normal that they could have male or female forms. Or even some shapeless god that can easily swap between forms and/or gender.
Isn't the broken scale just Hiddukel's symbol? Its been quire a number of years since I've flipped through a PnP reference book.
